Interleaving is used for error-correcting on a bursty noisy channel. Given a graph describing the topology of the channel, we label the vertices of so that each label-set is sufficiently sparse. Interleaving scheme corrects for any error burst of size at most ; it is a labeling where the distance between any two vertices in the same label-set is at least . We consider interleaving schemes on in...

Most analysis and policy development in research and academia, and often even that which is concerned with gender, continues not to gender men explicitly and not to make explicit men’s part in the problem of gender inequalities. To develop gendered analyses of academia, research and science, and gender-sensitive policies in academia, research and science, involves explicitly gendering men. In t...

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is an extension of traditional public key encryption in which the encryption and decryption phases are based on user’s attributes. More precisely, we focus on ciphertext-policy ABE (CP-ABE) where the secret-key is associated to a set of attributes and the ciphertext is generated with an access policy. It then becomes feasible to decrypt a ciphertext only if one’...

This study examines prosodic transfer effects in the production of three contrastive English stress patterns at the level of word and phrase prosody by Vietnamese learners of English. Both languages employ distinctive patterns of pitch (F0) and intensity prominence to signal contrasts between otherwise homophonous compound and phrasal constructions, though reversed in headedness (English: black...

The canonical word order of Japanese double object constructions has attracted considerable attention among linguists and has been a topic of many studies. However, most of these studies require either manual analyses or measurements of human characteristics such as brain activities or reading times for each example. Thus, while these analyses are reliable for the examples they focus on, they c...

In this paper we provide several known and one new constructions of new linear secret sharing schemes (LSSS) from existing ones. This constructions are well-suited for didactic purposes, which is a main goal of this paper. It is well known that LSSS are in one-to-one correspondence with monotone span programs (MSPs). MSPs introduced by Karchmer and Wigderson, can be viewed as a linear algebra m...

In this paper we focus on three open questions regarding NIST SP 800-22 randomness test: the probability of false acceptance, the number of minimum sample size to achieve a given probability error and tests independence. We shall point out statistical testing assumptions, source of errors, sample constructions and a computational method for determining the probability of false acceptance and es...

We discuss how the surface gravity can be classically defined for dynamical black holes. In particular we focus on defining the surface gravity for locally defined horizons and compare a number definitions proposed in the literature. We illustrate the differences between the various proposals in the case of an arbitrary dynamical, spherically symmetric black hole spacetime. We also discuss how ...

In this paper we focus on tools and environments for visual interface development that have been proposed recently. The aim is to introduce Whizz’Ed, an experimental editor for construction of highly interactive or animated applications in order to highlight the original contribution of the Whizz’Ed approach. Whizz’Ed provide an easy-to-use environment using elementary components for visual des...
